Posted on May 30, 2012 at 1:45 pm by Adam Nason

(Stanley, IA) – Hub City Brewing Co-Owner, Gloria Knoke, tells BeerPulse that the company has been forced to close down its brewery amidst a legal battle with its bank. The brewery operated for nearly five years.

It is among only a couple reported brewery closures in the past few months after an ominous string of closures happened in a two-week span early in the year.

According to the Brewers Association, Hub City produced 869 barrels in 2010 and approximately 1,200 barrels in 2011.

I’m with Brian!The Paradise Ale was great!I hope that they can reopen so that I can buy a few cases!They had a nice atmosphere there and were always willing to let you try the new products and tell you about future batches that they we’re working on.

Won’t miss em, gave them many chances and there bottled stuff always had glaring defects particularly with way way too much dicetyl. Had some decent beer at a tasting in coralville once about a year and a half ago. If you can’t keep your standards to higher quality than any home brewer, failure isn’t surprising.
